Quatrième de couverture
Elisabeth Waltregny aborde remarquablement la photographie dans son rôle primitif : inscrire de manière permanente l'impermanence de la lumière, en la conjuguant de manière si singulière avec son propre temps, sa propre histoire puis finalement la nôtre.

Voir et partir : c'est ce que fait la petite fille au miroir : démultipliée à l'infini dans un espace blanc, quasi immatériel. De place en place, le jeu des entrecroisements met l'image en mouvement et produit une expérience de la profondeur instable et éphémère, ouverte à l'excès, tendue vers les confins de la visibilité.

It is said that the art of photography is about capturing the moment, the immediate. Elisabeth Waltregny's imaginative and suggestive photos do seize the unspoken and non-discursive mystery of life in a sudden beat of clock time.
- Niklas Salmose
The camera's « evidence of the real » in Elisabeth Waltregny's work produces social evidence : of acts of seeing, of the seen, of virtual subjectivities, of a political condition - abstract, compounded, figural - telescoped in a literal « placement in abyss » that is never less than concrete in its immediacy.
